Diolch, Llywydd. Amendment 36 has been retabled on a matter of principle. At Stage 2, my colleague Suzy Davies AM was very clear to the Minister that there should be a power for the Assembly to halt the actions of the Welsh Government momentarily if we believe that it has acted outside of its powers. Section 12(3)(b) of the Bill allows the Welsh Government to make a number of provisions in connection with the Bill's coming into force, and this amendment gives the Assembly that very same opportunity—for the Welsh Government to explain their actions if questions are asked. Thank you.
